And this confirmation which we have by Baptism concerns the whole life, all, and every one of the sins of our life: for the blood of Christ, whereof Baptism is the seal, purgeth aus from all sin. Therefore so often as we fall, we should call our Baptism to mind, and thereby arm our selves, that we may ever rest assured ⟨p. 143⟩of the free pardon of our sins, for that the blood of Christ is that fountain which is bopened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that is, to all the faithful, to wash them from sin, and from uncleanness.
